So a lot of times CCP doesn't give a poo poo unless it fucks with their bottom line. With the introduction of skill extractors people can hack accounts, strip them clean of SP and rmt the money. As a scammer most people I encountered were loving poor so hacking accounts would be a total crap shoot if you're looking for isk and assets but now almost every account will have some value. Reversing this takes a lot of work as (I think) CCP have been choosing to do somewhat in depth transaction reversals if possible instead of simply doing negative wallets but leaving other transactions untouched. So while normally CCP doesn't usually crack down on RMT that hard, I think the recent increase in hacked accounts meant they went to work on RMT with a loving sledgehammer. While the casinos did generate a war, the RMT has caused a huge workload increase for the GMs and was the cause of the new supposedly more secure client.

I don't think that's the entire reason but I think the account hacking RMT is one of them.

LOL if Darius JOHNSON is seriously going to lecture people on empire building when he can't commit to running an alliance full of sycophants he could have easily delegated any "work" to.

Step 1: Word vomit and call to arms.
Step 2: Mental health trigger warning.
Step 3: Abandon responsibility and followers.

I feel like I'm missing a step though.

KarmaFleet is really too distant from GSF culturally - corp chat is really cringey and embarassing. But when you're a member it becomes patently obvious that this is basically necessary, because KF kind of has an internal structure (because it's a spy-ridden newbie corp).

What happened to that guy who got a talking to from KF internal affairs? Did he get black-bagged?

The short version is because I loathe CCP. By which I mean beyond them being a terribly run company, and instead that there was a stack of highly personal poo poo that went down. Once I'm out of NDA land, assuming I care even that much by then, I'll do a complete write up on it. The stuff that finally pushed me over the edge was such that it I couldn't in good conscience keep giving them money, and since I was so down on it all, I also couldn't in good conscience stick around to lead people, do my space job, or encourage people to log into or put effort into it. So rather than drag people down around me who just wanted to have fun, I peaced out. As a company though, they're beyond terrible.

Is it bad that I assume people's reliance on an NDA is a smokescreen?

I mean unless someone's revealing some heinous trade secrets and CCP managed to defy their corporate track record and somehow draft a competent and enforceable NDA... I just don't ever think that's the case.

Or more likely he might want to do things which require NDAs in the future, and being a known NDA breaker might put a damper on that.

I literally don't care about any of that poo poo. It has nothing to do with ally assimilation into secondary goonfleet.com groups.

The only reason it's not representative is the other squads weren't going out of their way to pull in like minded pilots from outside of the main org. Virtually all of our allies had a blackops wing, and through y'know talking to the pubbies like they weren't garbage we managed to get a fair number of them in Topgoon. Hell bokops (The really proficient hot dropping wing of fweddit) got their start by basically working with us. On top of that as far as I know I was the only squad leader type that engaged allied CEO's in regards to participation problems, usually getting waivers so they could be deployed with us w/o being poo poo on by their CEO's for not showing up for a POS shot across the galaxy.

I'm not terribly surprised a lot of these dudes weren't integrating when we pushed a heavy metrics system on them that said "Thou must be at the pos shot lest ye be found unworthy" which then trickled downward into activity rules placed on individual members. That's literally what prompted me into talking to people by the way. A few SMA dudes were getting picked on by their leadership about non participation in "Peacetime" strategic poo poo while pretty much every squad was deployed elsewhere.

As an aside this is why I still say that during non war declaired periods squad paps should be given a weighting on the strategic scale (Even if it's a heavily penalized weight) because keeping people logging in during boring periods is absolutely a service.

EDIT: Or better yet the entire squad/sig system should be scrapped and rebuilt because the waters are murky what with Incursion Swarm being a sig, and blackops being downgraded to "Holesquad lite".
